A year ago, the body of Alex Towne was found.
A month ago his mother saw him on the street.
A week ago, David Raker agreed to track him down.
Now he wishes he never took this case.

Mary Towne's son Alex disappeared six years ago. Five years later, he was finally found - dead in a car wreck. But then his mother saw him on the street, alive and well...

David Raker, who specializes in the search for missing persons, does not want to take this case: he has no doubt that Alex's mother was simply overwhelmed by grief and saw what she wanted to see. But he himself knows very well how difficult it is to cope with the loss of someone close to him, so in the end he reluctantly agrees.

The deeper Raker gets into the case, the more painfully he realizes that Alex wasn't nearly as innocent as his mother believed. There are many secrets buried in his past that should never have seen the light of day - and they are guarded by very, very dangerous people.

Raker soon discovers that a man can suffer a much worse fate than death.
